Niven / Sinclair

[Just a Scot]

Does anyone have  a Robert Niven in there family tree who was born 1890 to William and Mary Niven.
He married Catherine Sinclair 1915 in Dundee and died 1972 in St Andrews Fife the same year his wife Catherine died.

 

[NIVEN C]

I have a Robert Wright Niven born about 1891 whos father may have been William Niven born 1855 died 1929

[Just a Scot]

That's the one, his father was William born around 1856 in St Andrews Fife.
Do you have any info on Catherine Sinclair ? Robert Nivens wife.

[NIVEN C]

no sorry as he is just off my descendants line thats all the info i have

[NIVEN C]

But by the look of the chart he may be a great uncle of the Toppings from strathkiness nr st andrews
My brother is the best person to talk to about this as he compiled the tree I have William born  18th oct 1855 died 1929

Are they any relation to Catherine Hughes Niven, born 9 Jan 1906 died 16 Jun 1988 in St Andrews, married Charles Anderson Finlay, my second cousin twice removed.

But by the look of the chart he may be a great uncle of the Toppings from strathkiness nr st andrews
My brother is the best person to talk to about this as he compiled the tree I have William born 18th oct 1855 died 1929

Are you aware William married twice ?  first to Annie Pearson then to Mary Duff

[NIVEN C]
